USPS - Slow, and seems to be getting worse

[Fballguy]

It's pretty glaring right now. As you said worse than in March. I began to notice it within the last month. I've had two ebay purchases no show. One was USPS the other UPS. Tracking just stopped at the end of June and beginning of July. I've always known USPS customer service is non-existent, but UPS is equally useless now. When you call they flat out tell you speaking to a human is not an option. They must all be in India which is in total lockdown. Frustrating because that package made it all the way to my city and just stopped. I'm waiting for two other USPS packages now that haven't changed status since July 15.

I've noticed packages going through the middle of the country, Illinois in particular, seem to be having problems as well. I had one that went in circles for a week before breaking free from the vortex and heading to me. Had another that seemed to be walking through the state for delivery.

I've never had a bad experience with the USPS until the past couple of months. A fairly important document I sent was never delivered, and I didn't receive an eBay item sent to me from a seller I trust.

Past few months have been rough, I detailed a terrible experience with them in two threads. Packages in general have been coming a little late. Their overworked, and understaffed,in my opinion. The Government isn't doing them any favors either and I certainly don't think the new Post Master General is going to help either.

I am in Japan and the postal system here won’t accept any mail going to the US. The problem is not on Japan Post’s end, they are accepting mail to almost all other developed countries, it is specifically on the US end. Its weird. I can send stuff to Canada or even Mexico, but not to the US. Something is wrong.

The JapanPost website shows that parcel delivery is suspended to 141 countries, including the U.S. They are accepting letter mail to the US and surface mail, but that is all at this time.
